IGNORE CHARITIES BOARD
Lawmakers Asking for Appropriations
' Contrary to the Becommenda
tions of That Body
Rill* continue to be in the;
Legislature making appropriations to !
various institutions to construct new
l>uildings, despite the recommendation j
of the State Board of Charities that
money for such purposes should not be!
given by the state at this time, when
the finances of the State will not per
mit of it.
Chairman Woodward, of the House'
Appropriations Committee, when asketl
about this determination of lawmakers <
To get money for new buildings for :
many institutions, ignoring the Boardj
of Charities, said that from his observa
tion from what he had heard mem
' bers of the House say the average leg
islator does not consider that it is the
province of the State Board of Par
dons to estimate what the State reve
nues will be, and that the Board had
no right to say what amounts should l
•be appropriated or withheld.
"The average legislator," said
Chairman Woodward, "believes that it :
i« the duty of the State Board of Ohari
ties to visit all institutions getting
money from the State, in order to as
certain conditions, whether anything is
needed, whether the institutions are
being conducted properly and such oth
er information as will look to the care i
and treatment of inmates, but in the i
matter of appropriations it s insisted
that the Board has nothing to say.
"However, the information gath
ers! by the Board, and its recoinmenda- 1
tions have been of great assistance to j
me in making up the schedule of ap
propriations. for I know that the Board
knows what it is talking about. I shall
endeavor to confrom to its recommen
dations as far as possible."

MAYOR BALKS AT
SIGNING MEASURE
Cnllaaa* Kraan Kirtt Pa*a»
licans and by the Mayor. The Mayor
maintained that the Republicans have
failed to prove their contention that
"improvement work, whic4i would give
relief to the unemployed, could not le
i gallv be done pow." The Mayor was
| pointed to by the Republicans as the
j one who opeued the question of getting
1 work for the city's unemployed and
' that it is obligatory on his part to find
j a way whereby they can be put to
j work.
Commissioners in a Wrangle
The Republicans at all timed said
they are in fnvor of relieving the unein
'ploved. but they said the Mayor's reso
lution on that subject was too general
and could not lie carried out in its pres
ent shape. ,
"If you thought it wasn't feasible,
why didn't you defeat it?" asked the
Mayor.
" Because you did not openly sanc
tion an amendment which we proposed
; and which really would have been the
, plausible solution," said Commissioner
Taylor.
"But you could have amended it,
just as you have done with other legis
lation," returned the Mayor.
• • True, but it was your measure.
You opened the question, and I thought
it was up to you to see it through.
Taylor replied. "Anil, if. as you say,
you were not playing polities when you
introduced the original resolution, why
didn't you confer with the other Com
missioners on the subject and probably
soine light could have been thrown on
jit? It would take but five minutes to
! get the members together."
| "You're a nice man to consult with,
are you not?'' the Mayor retorted.
• • Did vou ever consult me on any sub
ject before coming to meeting? I did
just what I thought was proper under
the circumstances."
'' Everything we have done was ac
cording to law." was Taylor s reply.
Mayor Calls It An Insult
| "I want to say to you that, there
was no political buncombe in my mo
tive. I offered that resolution for the
benefit of the unemployed and if you
doubt mv words that men are search
ing for work I can shbw you the names
: of between 400 and 500 men who now
| are seeking jobs. When I offered the
I resolution I was just as honest and
sincere as I ever was in my life and in
| the face of that you come' in here and
.offer that insulting resolution."
Commissioner Lynch offered to take
the Mayor to a grading job on Seven
teenth "street, which now is underway,
saying that he could prove his claim
that it is not feasible to start city im
provement work now, in cold weather,
in view of the added cost that it would
i mean to the city, but the Mayor declin
ed. He said lie is satisfied the work
i would cost more, "but I think the cir
; cumstances warraut the expenditure.''
"Give me $5,000 and I'll put the
I unemployed to work and find jobs for
every man," said Lynch.
" Vou have SBB,OOO to build sowers.
Why not spend some of that?'' asked
the Mayor.
"But I can't use that money for
this purpose. That is to cover the con
tract jobs.''
Lynch later said lie could use the
$5,000 in employing men to cut ice
from the city's streets.
"It is foolish, I know," said Lynch,
"and not the proper way to spend the
people's money, and you can bet that I
do not intend to offer such a resolution,
but it is one way out of this matter and
will put the men to work. Let the
Mayor offer a resolution to till at effect
if he is as eager as he say he is to find
work for the unemployed."
Appeal From Mayor's Ruling
Subsequently Lynch wanted to know
what hail become of his resolution
which the Mayor "ruled out of order
because the heaUs of the several depart
ments involved already know just what,
is sought by that resolution.''
Tn the interim Lynch, Bowman and
Baylor had attached their signatures to
a typewritten appeal from tiie Mayor's
decision and this was filed with tho
clerk.
"The question is on the appeal. Shall
it stand or be defeated 1" spoke up the
chair.
"Mr. Chairman.' "began Mr. Gorgas
rising from his seat.
' • No, Mr. Gorgas, you cannot discuss
the question. It must be voted upon
without deibate and they knew that be
fore theyniskel the clerk to read
rule governing this," said the Mayor.
Mr. Gorgas resumed his seat and
joined the Mayor in supporting the
chair's decision while the three Repub
lican members voted "no" and defeat
ed it.
On the question of the Lynch resolu
tion Commissioner Gorgas obtained tho
lloor, =aving that he had no objection (
to the passage of the resolution. He
later said
"l vote no because I feel that it is
a reflection on members of this body."
The resolution carried by a thrte to
two vote, the Republicans all voting for
its passage.
Dr. E. S. Meals, avowed Republican
candidate for Mayor; the venerable B. i
F. Meyers, who manv years was the
!ead<*r of the County Democrats, and
Harry F. Oves, City Chairman of the
Republican party, attended the meeting
along with many city and county of

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Cantinnrd From First Pace,
account of recent public utterances in
Germany.
' Evacuation by the Germans of Lodz,
next to Warsaw the most Important
city of Russian Poland, is reported un
officially to-day from French sources.
Recent official statments show that the
Russians opened an attack along the
Warsaw front several days ago but the
heaviest fighting apparently was being
carried on some distance north of Lodz,
which lies southwest of Warsaw, about
half way between that city and the
German border. To-day's report says
that the Germans are removing their
supplies to Kalisz, near the border, and
j that they are resuming construction of
i lines of fortification. Lodz was cap
i tured by the Germans on December O,
during their drive at Warsaw, which
i was halted thirty miles west of that
city.
Reports of the campaign in the Car
pathians are conflicting, although it is
agreed that heavy fighting is in prog
, ress. Petrograd's claims of victories
are not admitted in Berlin, where it
is stated that the Austro-German forces
are making progress steadily. The cor
respondent of a Berlin newspaper as
i serts that the spirit of the Russians ap
peared to be broken; that they have lost
10.000 this month and are now conteut
to remain on the defensive.
One of the most stubborn fights on
French battlefields is said to have been
won by the allies. For six weeks the
hill of Notre Dame de Lorette has been
in dispute. In winning possession of
this hill the allies have gained an im
portant advantage, since the position
dominates the surrounding region.

KHV TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts Before Breakfast
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You
The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou
ble, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and the result is kidnov
trouble, bladder weakness and a general
decline in health.
When your kidneys'feel like lumps of
lead; vour back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
acid stomach, or you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, get from vour
pharmacist about four ounces of .Tad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous saits is made from
the ncid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulato
clogged kidneys: to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer is a source
of irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
•Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney

SERVIA'S FLAG IS
BARRED AT CHURCH
Cm tinned From Ftrat Page,
placed in a position which might be
construed as discourteous to the Ser
vians, they would not attend the serv
ice, and consequently it was not held.
The whole situation was handled so
diplomatically that there is said to be
no ill-feeling on either side.
The Servians had been invited by
the Croatian* to participate in the pa
rade and other festivities hold in honor
of the twentiot'h anniversary of the or
: gani;\Ttionjjj;.£he St. Lawrence Society
i which is entirely of Croa
I tians. The Servians took part in tflie
| parade and the afternoon meetings.
The Croatian committee in charge
of Hie celebration at first protested
against the action of the Rev. Father
Zuvich, and then to be loyal to their
guests, (he Servian organizations de
cided to eliminate the high mass which
was announced to be the opening num
ber of the program and which was to
have been held in the church at 9.30
o'clock vestordav morning.
After t'lie flag incident was disposed
of in an amicable way the |»arade start
ed, and accompanied by the Highspire
and Imperial hands, traversed the prin
cipal streets of the borough with best
of feeling and without any disturbance
occurring.
The protest of the Croatian eommit
i tee, in charge of the affair, was bgsed
j on the alleged fact that the Servian
flag been allowed in St. Mary's
churcih oil several different occasions,
one of. whk-h was April 28, 1914. and
the other during the progress of the
Balkan war. The rector, however, anc
le ended in convincing the committee that
the sight of the ub in the church might
lead ft few excitaJble persons to cause
a disturbance.
Following the parade, an entertain
ment was held in 'Voatian hall when an
address was delivered by Stephen
Rehrovic, secretary of the National
Croatian Societies. The celebration
closed last evening with a dance in
Croatian hall.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy—lf You Know Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping young is to
feel young—to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels —there's no need
of having a sallow complexion—dark
rings under your eyes—pimples—a bil
ious look in your face—dull eyes with
no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent, of all sickness coines from inactive
bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician

DEFENDS COAL WHARF PLANS
Bowman Says It Will Not Interfere
With Filter Plant Extension
In reiply to a printed criticism of the
pfan for the city to lease a plot of
ground on Hargest. island to the Ilar
risburg Light & Power Company, on
which the company hopes to build a
coal wharf, City Ooanmisfiioiier Harry
F. Bowman, who introduced an ordi
nance permitting the lease, this mom
ing guve out a statement to the news
papers.
''The use of alum at the filter plant
has, within the last year, been reducelt
by a trifle more than forty-one per
•cent." he said, "364,994 pounds hav
ing been used in 1912 and only 217,-
071 pounds last year. The need for an-,
other sedimentation basin will not arise
for five or six years, and when it is
■necessary the only feasible plan, ex
perts tell me, will be to place it on the
west sdde of the present basin, which
is out of tihe way of the site for the pro
posed wharf.
" It is my belief that the return we
will get from the light company as con
sideration for the rental of the ground,
is ample, and I do not believe tihe erec
tion of the <#o«l wharf, as propose* t bv
that concern, will in any way hinder
'future extension of the filtration sys
tem. By reducing the use of alum last
year we saved $1,529.23."

'WhatVyour excuse for speeding?"
asked the judge.
"Oh, we live in rapid times, your

"Not at all," said the judge, "and
you will observe the contrary if you
will sit down and spend the day in this
courtroom. Ten dollars."—Louisville

| DRINK HOT TEA
| FOR A BAD COLD j
Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, "Hamburger Bruit Thee," at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores, relieving
congestion. Also loosens the bowels,
thus breaking a cold at once.
It is inexpensrve and entirely vege
table. therefore harmless.—Adv
